The Positive Power of Gifting Faux Flowers

Discover the lasting benefits of gifting faux flowers from The Faux Flower Company. Brighten days, foster connections, and promote mindfulness with sustainable, hand-painted blooms that offer enduring beauty and environmental benefits. Perfect for thoughtful, impactful gifts.

Gifting Faux Flowers

Gifting faux flowers is good for the soul. But – and maybe we should whisper here! – receiving is even better.


A thoughtful artificial floral gift, arriving on your doorstep out of the blue, can’t fail to lighten your spirits and brighten your day. And when the gift is as stunning and lovingly hand crafted as a sumptuous bouquet of faux flowers, it will lift your home environment as well as your heart.


When you gift a bouquet of faux flowers to someone you love, you’re making a meaningful connection that will bring more than momentary happiness.

Flowers have a direct effect on our emotional wellbeing. 

Why gifting flowers makes us happier

Whether you’re gifting faux flowers or the receiver, gifting a bouquet of faux or fresh flowers strengthens our personal relationships and our own emotional wellbeing. In this blog, we’re looking at the extraordinary power of flowers and their charismatic effect on our lives, as well as their ability to transform a room, whether it’s your sitting room, your snug or your home office.


Gifting faux flowers can lift someone out of a difficult place. Their positive impact just keeps on giving, especially with faux. If someone’s going away for a long time, maybe to start a new job, or start university, flowers will remind them they’re loved, supported and in your thoughts, whatever’s going on and whatever challenges lie ahead.


Flowers are proven to boost our productivity and inspire creativity too. And they help us focus. Concentrating on a flower, looking deeply, observing closely, absorbs you, relaxes your mind and makes you present in the moment.

Looking up from your laptop screen to glimpse a glorious display of artificial peonies or spray of sweet peas – whatever the weather outside! – is the perfect screen break.

Gifting Faux Flowers help us heal

Even now, there’s often a florist close to a hospital, and gifting flowers to someone who’s recovering from an illness or operation can deliver a positive, restorative boost and accelerate recovery. Research now suggests that gazing at the natural beauty of a flower actually lowers blood pressure and reduces stress and fatigue.  The happiness you feel when you receive flowers as a gift floods our body with oxytocin, the ‘happiness hormone’, improving our spirits dramatically. 

Since many hospitals don’t allow fresh flowers onto the wards anymore, gifting faux flowers or a carefully chosen bouquet is a perfect gift. Plus, you can take artificial flowers home with you (unlike those chocolates that all your visitors ate!) so you can continue to enjoy them, long after you’re back on your feet.

Flowers say what we can’t

If you find it hard to put your emotions into words, choosing and gifting someone a dozen exquisite roses can say everything you want it to say – ‘I care about you’, ‘I am thinking of you’, ‘I value you’. And historically, we have imbued flowers with meaning. The Victorians believed that even the way you tied the bouquet spoke a secret language – tied to the left, the emotions represented applied to the giver. Tied to the right, it applied to the recipient. 

 

We like to hand-tie our bouquets in the centre – and leave the choice up to you!

Why is gifting artificial flowers good for our wellbeing?

Gifting someone a perfect faux flower bouquet makes you feel good too. Gifting someone’s favourite bunch of flowers speaks volumes – it shows that you are a kind, generous and thoughtful friend or relative. Those positive feelings boost our self-esteem, and reduce our own stress levels.


Gifting faux flowers is a win-win for everyone’s wellbeing. 

The therapeutic power of ‘conscious Gifting’

Conscious giving means you put time and thought into the gifts you give, rather than just giving 'anything' for the sake of it. 

 

It’s the difference between gifting a bunch of ‘past their sell-by’ Roses from a service station – and receiving a beautifully curated, hand picked Bouquet that was obviously chosen with you in mind. And with gifting faux flowers, you can give someone their favourite bloom, such as a Sweet Pea, or a Blush Pink Tea Rose, no matter what season it is, guilt-free! 

Gifting An artificial floral bouquet – the gift that keeps on giving

The ‘unboxing moment’ is just the start. At The Faux Flower Company, we often say that gifting faux flowers, whether it’s a lavish Artificial Summer Splendour Flower Bouquet or six perfect Faux Calla Lilies, is a gift that just keeps on giving. Artificial arrangements can bring pleasure for years.


It’s everything that happens after the unboxing that makes gifting faux flowers a meaningful, mindful gift. The placing in the vase, the arranging and rearranging, choosing just the right vase, just the right position in the room to catch the sunlight.


Because the act and art of flower arranging is in itself a tonic for your wellbeing. Creative faux flower arranging of your faux bouquet gift relieves stress, releases positive emotions and restores your mental balance and resilience.


That’s like having a genie in the vase! 

The positive pleasure of arranging faux flowers

Taking the time to arrange a bouquet mindfully, focusing on each bloom and its place in the overall arrangement, slows us down, and helps us reconnect both with ourselves and the natural world. Whether it's a single stem in a vase or an elaborate bouquet, enjoy the opportunity to experiment, and discover how you can create different shapes and contrasts by combining different faux flowers and foliage against each other.


Arranging your artificial flowers is a creative pleasure, and expressing ourselves creatively is central to emotional wellbeing. It’s an art form that’s accessible to everyone. 

Which flowers should I gift to promote wellbeing?

Choosing a Romantic Faux Flower Gift


Gifting a Romantic arrangement expresses enduring love and admiration, perfect for those loved ones closest to us – mothers, sisters, best friends, partners and brides-to-be. 

The Romantic colour palette blends warm and cool lavenders and pinks, and gifting faux flowers in this colour palette speaks to the heart. Shop our Valentine's Day collection for the full selection. 

Choosing a Sensual Faux Flower Gift


Gifting faux flowers in rich, sophisticated colour combinations creates a deeply sensual, even passionate emotional effect – and can hypnotise the heart as well as the eye! 


Combine dramatic burgundy shades, scarlets and purples, with hot pink or flame orange. Be extravagant – don’t hold back! 


Our Summer Collection encompasses the Sensual colour palette! 


Choosing a Tranquil Faux Flower Gift


When you can see that someone you care about is running on empty, gifting a Tranquil bouquet reminds them to take a moment for themselves and restore harmony. Gifting faux flowers is perfect for busy mothers juggling careers, someone about to sit professional exams, or anyone who needs to lower their stress level. 

 

Those misty blues of eucalyptus or delphiniums, and the serenity and calm of green foliage will remind them of life beyond the madhouse. 

Choosing a Nurturing Faux Flower Gift


Gifting faux flowers for those who need a little extra TLC and compassion. 

Gifting a Nurturing bouquet exudes a sense of caring through its palette of soft peach, creamy white and pastel pinks and greens. We often gift these to first time mothers, or anybody who’s recently lost someone. Anyone in fact who is in need of a hug.

Choosing a Joyful Faux Flower Gift


Our Joyful choices are bursting with bold, contrasting colours, for gifting faux flowers to celebrate those big ‘life milestones’: from big-zero birthdays to gifting for graduations or new homes.

The art of gracious gifting, and gracious living

Flowers can be the best therapy. An unexpected bouquet of faux flowers, chosen with care from someone you love can bring the world sunny side up again, as well as introduce a top note of beauty into your home interiors.


At The Faux Flower Company, we know it feels great to be gifting faux flowers – but it feels even better to receive!

For the love of faux flowers – why we do what we do

We may be biased, but we believe Faux Flower Company artificial flowers are head and shoulders above the competition. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and we use the natural beauty of flowers as our inspiration to create the most perfect bloom, bud, leaf or stem as we can. Right down to the curve of the thorns on our artificial roses!


Each bloom is unique, handpainted to mimic nature, with ‘real feel’ petals, and highly realistic stems and foliage. We send out more than four thousand individual stems and artificial flower bouquets a month – and every single bloom is hand-painted.


But it's not all about the beauty. By choosing, and gifting faux flowers, you’re making a positive contribution to the wellbeing of the environment too. Fresh flowers may have travelled thousands of miles by air freight or refrigerated lorry by the time they arrive in your local florists. Ours take a slow boat, travelling the long distances by sea. 

By opting for, or gifting faux flowers, you’re helping to preserve precious natural resources such as water, reducing waste, and minimising environmental harm associated with traditional flower production through pesticides and fertilisers. 


And, of course, with just a little care, they’ll continue to bring pleasure for years, not just a few days. 

Everyone here on our small team is a flower fanatic, and we aim to spread that love!
